Trunk Show

We are very pleased to have Hanna Farquharson, a modern quilter and independent modern quilt guild member, from Saltcoats, SK, as a special guest at our meeting. She will share a trunk show of her modern quilts. As stated on her website, Hanna is influenced by nature, Saskatchewan, Japan, and by the Japanese “wabi-sabi” which means finding beauty in imperfection. Her quilts have been on exhibit at QuiltCon, Quilt Festival, Quilt Canada and the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery in Yorkton. We have adored her quilts on social media (@h_faquharson_studio) and are excited to see these works of art in person! We are welcoming guests that RSVP.

Join us and see what the Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild is all about!

Charity Quilt

Bev has gracious stepped up to coordinate a charity quilt. The theme is text with the colours of white, grey, and black (details in the link above). We will focus our message on mental health. Details will be revealed at the sew day and meeting for this group project. There will be an opportunity to work on blocks and for you to contribute fabric from your stash (white, grey, and black; solids or low volume). More details to come!
